Considering there are many billboards, tv commercials and warning labels about cigarettes having health risk it’s almost a known fact that cigarettes are bad for people. Smoking is addictive, but for the people wanting to stop smoking or even looking for alternatives there is Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) . ENDS aren’t cigarettes, but small easy to use devices that blow out water vapor and nicotine to create huge clouds of smoke. Due to the water vapor coming out of these ENDS consumers don't understand the real effects it still may have on your body. The scary part about these devices is that they are targeting mainly teens and college students ,yet without enough research the health effects lack because of how new and fast …show more content…
Foulds 2011).Most studies are proving that e-cigs can be a better alternative to smoking or even quitting altogether .The study verifies that it helped with the nicotine addiction ,but it showed other chemicals that may affect body such as carcinogens . Some of the chemicals released by the e-cigarettes are the same chemicals that are found in cigarette smoke. The Center for Disease Control and Prevent (CDC) proved the chemical isoprene found in cigarettes and ENDS devices are carcinogenic (2015). The Department Material Analysis and Indoor Chemistry, Fraunhofer Wilhelm-Klauditz-Institut (WKI) of Braunschweig, Germany concluded from the research study that the concentrations of the ENDS chemicals aren’t nearly as harmful as cigarette smoke. The average concentration of isoprene during the study in the e-cig vapor was approximately 8μg/m³, while the cigarette smoke produced 135μg/m³ (Schripp 2012). The evidence is good news and bad news for the daily e-cig user because although vaping can be less harmful it can still affect the body the way cigarettes do especially when vapers tend to puff more vapor in their lungs than the traditional cigarette user …show more content…
Lung damage when using the ENDS devices is a concern because when inhaled the vapor reaches the lungs which are now exposed to the harsh chemicals. In a health and body article from Science News for Students claims the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill exposed human lung cells to e-cigarette flavorings. The exposure to the lungs led to the evidence of five of the thirteen e-juice flavors affected lung cell. The article explained the lung cells can’t reproduce themselves when exposed to the “e-juice”, and even at high doses lung cells were killed completely (Raloff, Mole 2015).ENDS are so easy to use at the press of button many users have constant exposure to the lungs because they’re consistently vaping throughout the day. Lung damage is crucial because the e -cigs and vapes are targeting young adults and teens especially when they are supposed to have their whole life ahead of them. ENDS are basically just the new trendy way of smoking which is appealing to the young adults A research study of 15000 students in the US said they smoke the e-cigarettes because of the flavor not cause of the nicotine (Krisberg 2016). Unfortunately the juice that has the flavors contains nicotine and other harsh chemicals so it’s basically as if they were smoking cigarettes anyways
E-cigs are less harmful than regular cigarettes. They mimic the sensations of traditional cigarettes but do not burn or create tobacco smoke or ashes. Nor do they contain tar, the main cause of cancer in smokers”. e cigs bring lots of health advantages to smokers they are less harmful for smokers. For example, E-cigs can help regular smokers cut down on smoking cigarettes. Regular smokers can smoke spend less on cigarettes and incest in having an E-cig. Some might say they are cheaper than spending more than 20 dollars or more on three boxes of cigarettes. They think that is is beneficial for smoker who are having hard time trying to quit smoking and this could be an alternative for them instead having to quit. E-cigs have a tremendous untapped potential to positively change the lives of adult smokers of traditional cigarettes. They are more accessible to kids under 18 and they can be very dangerous if you don’t know how
It is added to "e-juice" liquid by some e-cigarette companies to complement flavorings such as vanilla, maple, coconut and more. So while diacetyl was swiftly removed from popcorn products since it could cause this devastating disease among factory workers, e-cigarette users are now directly inhaling this harmful chemical into their lungs. In fact, researchers at Harvard found that 39 of 51 e-cigarette brands contained diacetyl. The study also found two similarly harmful chemicals—2,3 pentanedione and acetoin—present in 23 and 46 of the 51 flavors it tested. And roughly 92 percent of the e-cigarettes had one of the three chemicals present.”
Electronic Cigarette’s are a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. Compared to smoking tobacco, a vapor is a much better alternative. Cigarettes have thousands of chemicals in just one cigarette. E-cigs just have four ingredients, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, artificial flavors, and nicotine.
There is a new trend hitting the market known as e-cigarettes, or “vaping.” Many people believe that e-cigarettes are better than traditional cigarettes, but research shows just how unhealthy and harmful e-cigarettes are for everyone. The FDA has not yet decided if e-cigarettes should be regulated as tobacco products. E-cigarettes are marketed to help people quit smoking and live a healthier, nonsmoking life. E-cigarettes are meant to help break the habit of smoking, but why are there so many “toxic chemicals” (gilger) in the vapor?
Various American individuals debate about the need for e-cigarettes and their unpopular campaigns on helping occurring smokers and encouraging youth into smoking. In the article entitled “Can E-Cigarettes save lives?” by highly acclaimed columnist Joe Nocera, Nocera expresses his dissatisfaction with e-cigarettes’ less popularity due to their less straightforward regulated advertisements about the reduced harm compared to normal cigarettes. He strongly urges for e-cigarettes to be used in the right circumstances such as that of adult smokers rather than burgeon the youth into nicotine. Nocera successfully constructs his credibility with actual statements from expert sources, and his passionate reasoning followed by his use of potent counterarguments, however, his attempt to appeal to ethos with factual data is futile because of his lack of citation. Nocera sets the
A movement formed in 2011 where the FDA decided to put vaping products under the Tobacco Control act labeling them as tobacco products due to the possible nicotine in them. In 2016, the FDA issued that anyone under 18 cannot be sold the e-cigarette or vaping devices of any sort. Identification must be provided for anyone below the age of 27 and samples of these tobacco products of any kind distributed are prohibited. The FDA has also putting warning labels on vaping devices for possibly containing nicotine, which is pending to be enforced in 2018. Even though these restrictions are being applied to not encourage young people to start vaping it does not stop the smoking industry from targeting the younger generation. The FDA is working with the anti-smoking group “The Real Cost” to provide education on the subject and aim it at teenagers. Vapers and or Vaping support groups are saying that the FDA is on the wrong side, that they should encourage vaping because if they don’t, they are encouraging teens or whoever smokes to still pick cigarettes over vaping. In general, the goal they share is to better the health of the public. Globally, sale and distribution of vape products has been banned in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay and a few other places. Since the items potentially contain nicotine in some way and it is a drug they have issued the ban. Vaping
Vaping is not often considered to be harmful to the lungs because the vape releases vapor and not smoke. There have been many inconclusive research studies but there have been a few recent findings that prove that in reality, vaping is extremely harmful to the lungs. The nicotine in the “nicotine, whatever its source, can harm lung tissue” and nicotine is an ingredient of most vapes. There are certain styles of vape juice that does not have nicotine however
E-cigarettes and hookahs have become very popular in today’s society. E-cigarettes are made out of metal and they contain nicotine, acetone, ethyl alcohol, styrene, and other substances that are vaporized (Brown, H., Hahn, E., & Riker, C., 2014). They come in many different styles and the substances used in e-cigarettes vary from brand to brand. Hookahs use tobacco that is sweetened and also flavored, and the smoke is passed through water before actually inhaling it (Noonan, D., & Kulbok, P., 2008). It is believed by the public that e-cigarettes and hookahs are better for you than traditional cigarettes. This is not true. In fact they can be more harmful to someone’s health than traditional cigarettes. This is a huge problem in today’s society
Electronic cigarettes are a viable alternative to smoking regular tobacco cigarettes.

From my late teens, into my mid-twenties, I was a smoker. At first, it was just recreational; however that changed fairly quickly. I began buying them and smoking regularly throughout the day. It then progressed to smoking a pack per day until it was too late. I was officially addicted. I knew it was a terrible habit and I was shamed of it and would hide it from friends and family hoping they wouldn’t find out. Finally, after coughing hacking, and repeatedly getting sick several times a year, I came to the realization that I had to quit. However, it wasn’t as easy as I had anticipated. After relapsing several times before I was finally able to quit, I broke this terrible habit successfully. It was an extremely difficult habit to break and I’ll never go back. I was a lucky individual who had the mental toughness and willpower to overcome this strong addiction, but Americans struggle to quit each year, and many never do. However, there’s a new product on the market today called electronic cigarettes that are believed to aid individuals in the fight against addiction. It’s a battery powered device that heats a nicotine diluted solution into a vapor that is then inhaled. It’s believed to be a healthier, more affordable alternative to tobacco cigarettes. It is much safer because it doesn’t have nearly as many harmful chemicals as tobacco cigarettes and it’s believed to be much more affordable for consumers. However, many critics believe that electronic cigarettes are extremely addictive and just as harmful. Although electronic cigarettes are believed to be detrimental to people’s heath due to low quality product standards, harmful components in filling solution, and reports suggesting they’re addictive and just as harmful as toba...
One of the biggest problems with society today is children and young adults are turning to electronic cigarettes for a source to nicotine. It is understood that some people might think that electronic cigarettes are better for people but here is why they are not. Electronic cigarettes have the same consequences as normal cigarettes with very few differences, such as in electronic cigarettes there is no tobacco and there is no carbon monoxide. Some might not know what is really in electronic cigarettes. Many people don’t know that there are over seven thousand chemicals and cartridges in these devices. Smoking electronic cigarettes has the same effects as normal cigarettes; they as well have been known to cause cancer and other diseases. Here is why electronic cigarettes are just as bad for the human body as
Everyone knows that cigarettes are horrible for your health and increase your risks of cancer. Not too long ago there was a big advertisement for e-cigarettes also known as vaping. It was advertised to be a healthier alternative and comparable to a nicotine patch to help you quit smoking. Many people began to question this new form of smoking and if it was really a safer alternative. Even though vaping is a safer alternative than smoking, vaping is not harmless because you are still getting nicotine, inhaling poison and risking a weaker immune system.
A study from Hatsukami and colleagues (2010) about reducing the levels of nicotine in tobacco, in order to help prevent addiction and help wean off the habit brought a different alternative to quit tobacco. A new technology has arrived and it has been beneficial by weaning off smokers from nicotine and it is called the electronic cigarette. According to Stifferlin (2014), “researchers found that based on the evidence, e-cigs are much less harmful to smokers and bystanders compared to conventional cigarettes” and researchers also found “that e-cigs can help some users cut down on their use of regular cigarettes and even quit.” Due to the fact that e-cigs are fairly new, researchers are still unaware the health issues it may bring. Currently e-cigs are better than a traditional cigarette because of the fewer toxins it
